When You Feel Stuck—Your Brain is Asking for a New Pattern- Episode 68
Welcome back to The Neuro Collective Podcast with your host, May Bagnell.
In today’s heartfelt solo episode, May dives deep into a mindset shift we all need from time to time: What if you're not actually stuck... you're just stuck in your thinking?
Whether you’re navigating a tough career decision, feeling burnt out in a role you love, or facing long-term challenges with your health or relationships—this episode offers a powerful reframe: Stop waiting for things to get better. Start creating something better.
Through real coaching insights, personal stories, and practical strategies, May unpacks how overwhelm and emotional “tug-of-war” moments can cloud our direction. She offers a three-step focus strategy to help you:
- Recenter your thoughts,
- Rekindle appreciation,
- And regain emotional clarity about where you're headed and who you want to be.
You'll also hear a powerful metaphor involving a train, a reminder to course-correct before you go too far down the wrong track—plus a beautiful reflection on hope and why imagining possibilities is essential to healing and forward momentum.
✨ If you're craving clarity, inspiration, or just a small push to reset your week—this episode is your gentle reminder that you have agency, you have options, and you can feel stronger again.
